	abstract = {We review recent theoretical and experimental in progress in the realisation of slow and stopped light by the {\textquoteright}trapped rainbow{\textquoteright} principle in optical metamaterials featuring negative electromagnetic parameters (permittivity/permeability and/or refractive index). We explain how and why these structures can enable complete stopping of light even in the presence of disorder and, simultaneously, dissipative losses. Using full-wave numerical simulations we show that the incorporation of thin layers made of an active medium adjacently to the core layer of a negative-refractive-index waveguide can completely remove dissipative losses - in a slow-light regime where the effective index of the guided wave is negative. {\textcopyright} 2010 SPIE.},
